When a cross-section is created the strata can be automatically created depending on the settings in Preferences. New strata can be added to the cross-section using either the Add Strata button on the Strata toolbar or by selecting Edit > Strata > Add or Popup > Strata > Add. The Select Strata form will then be displayed.

 

 

Either an existing strata definition in the project can be used or a new strata definition can be created. Both of these options are discussed in the sections below. The recommended order for adding strata is:

 

1.Unconformities

2.Faults

3.Intrusions

4.Layers

5.Lenses

6.Mineralization, Hydrocarbon, Contamination, Alteration Zones
